Language quiz 12 November 2017 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?
I grew up with enough Spanish around me that I’ve got a pretty good part of my brain that will quickly recognize Spanish and get ready to start trying to parse Spanish. This clip broke that part of my brain. Reply
The language is Chavacano (Chabakano de Zamboanga), a Spanish-based creole spoken in and around the city of Zamboanga in the Philippines. The recording comes from YouTube. Reply
Wow, to me it sounds like a cross between Portuguese, Indonesian and Hindi 😀

Definitely a Spanish-based creole of the Philippines. Chavacano?
Chavacano mixed with some Tagalog. Don’t know whether Cavite or Zamboanga
